If you have to copy a large number of files, from several locations, you can make your work easier with Drop Lite. This simple utility lets you gather files and folders into a single location, from where you can paste them or attach them to an email in a single run. Its functionality is similar to that of a clipboard manager, the main difference being the fact that all clips are stored in a single location.

Drop Lite comes in a small package and you can have it up and running in no time. It works on Windows XP and all later editions and it doesn't use a significant amount of resources. You will need to have .NET Framework 4.5 on your computer before running this software. If you don't have it, the setup wizard will install it for you.

When launched, the application will place a floating icon on your screen, which you may click and drag anywhere you want. You can simply drag and drop files, folders or text over this icon, to copy them to Drop Lite. If you click the floating icon, the application will display your files, folders and text clips, in separate groups, on a large and transparent window.

Contents can be opened normally from the Drop Lite window. Furthermore, you can select one or more items and drag them to a new location, like another window or an running application. Instead of browsing through folders, copying and pasting files one at a time, you can browse through those folders and gather the files into a single repository and then use them wherever you need, once or multiple times.

When it comes to gathering large amounts of data for projects or other operations, Drop Lite can make your work significantly easier.

Pros: You may copy multiple files, from different folders into a single place. The application lets you work wit files, folders and text. It doesn't use too many resources and it can be installed quickly and effortlessly.

Cons: The application comes with a clipboard monitor, but it is not available in the trail version. Also, double clicking the floating icon to open Drop Lite would allow us to move the icon more comfortably.
